Coldbrew is ideal for those summer days and is probably the easiest coffee to prepare.
You might have tried iced coffee already, but it's important to understand it's very different than a cold brewed coffee.
An iced coffee is made using a regular coffee maker using hot water (espresso, pour-over...), and is then mixed with ice cubes.
"There's no better way to start a hot summer day than with a coldbrew coffee ready straightaway from the fridge"
The coldbrew on the other hand is a coffee that is brewed with cold water using immersion methods such as the French Press. While it requires many hours of brew time, cold brewing preparation is very easy.

More infos
Accordy to many expert, the coffee to water ration should be much lower for coldbrews, as low as 1:6 (60% less water than our standard ratio!). This means some experts might recommend to only use 270ml of water for the same quantity of ground coffee.
Even though it might be a better recipe, we have tested it with the 1:16 ratio with Upraising coffee and it definitely tastes great. Feel free to play around and add more or less water depending on your taste.
